Happy  Anniversary Baby,  it's been a year  now since you moved away,
Even  though I asked,  you to go, I miss  you every day.
 I miss  you in the evenings,  alone  in the bed where I lie,
 I miss  you in the morning,  before  I open my eyes.
 I went and sold everything I could babe, then I gave away what I didn't sell
 I moved south to Nashville, I might like it there, but I can't tell.
 I've been hanging in Austin eating chili's and good barbecue,
 Writing songs about losing and heartache, hey babe, I've been writing about you.
  A year,  that ain't nothin',  when you lose  someone you love,
  A year  is a drop in a  bucket, when you lose  someone you love.
 I been traveling hard since September, won't get back to Nashville 'till June,
 I've played my songs all over the world, but I can't find a home without you.
 I press on like a mad rushing river, I press on with the will to survive,
 Part of me lives for the wind in my face, while the other parts bearly alive
  A year,  that ain't nothin',  when you lose  someone you love,
  A year  is a drop in a  bucket, when you lose  someone you love.
 So Happy Anniversary baby, may fortune and fate be your friends,
 Wherever you go, I want you to know, I don't think my love ever ends.
 I carry it down the highway, it's part of my body and soul,
 And one day it'll be the part of me, that pulls me up out of this hole
  A year,  that ain't nothin',  when you lose  someone you love,
  A year  is a drop in a  bucket, when you lose  someone you love.
